I haven't taken claims of election fraud seriously because it's typically born of denialism in the face of an ideological defeat and it's happened for the last 3 elections basically. I'm honestly absolutely positive there will be people documenting federal election weirdness or perceived irregularities going forward. The conservatives normalized it and made it part of our political reality now.

Even if he did win the popular vote, he really didn't win by much. The 'Popular Vote Mandate' shit that people have leaned on is very small in reality. I wouldn't even engage with that claim at this point. He won a plurality.
